Youth Programs
The youth of our congregation (grades 6th-12th) are vital and visible members of our faith community. The youth ministry programs seek to provide a place where middle and high school aged youth can:
- Develop and nurture their own personal faith journey and spiritual growth
- Enjoy meaningful and mutually respectful friendships
- Provide service to our local and world community
- Have fun!
